About May 2025 Calendar with Holidays

There are more than a few big May 2025 holidays for you to enjoy. Among the biggies is the Kentucky Derby, held early on the first Saturday of the month. Mint Juleps anyone!? Then, we get to honor and celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day. We end the month with Memorial Day as we honor the veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect and preserve our liberties and freedom. Memorial Day also signifies the beginning of summer, even though it has not yet arrived meteorologically. But, that’s not all May has to offer. There are plenty of May National holidays and international holidays to enjoy. So, fill your May 2025 calendar with holidays big and small. As a matter of fact, celebrate them all!

Enjoy May Special Events

This is a big month for big holidays and events. Early in May, the Running of the Roses is held. It’s Kentucky Derby time. Southern Belles dress in their finest, including a flowery hat, and drink Mint Juleps. It’s Kentucky Derby Day.

In mid-month, we honor Mom on Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May.

Then, at the end of the month, we honor our military personnel who gave the ultimate sacrifice to assure our freedom and way of life. Memorial Day
